Colts' Andrew Luck recorded most pass attempts ever in a 5-day span

If there were any questions about the arm strength and durability of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, they have been quieted in less than a week’s time.

Coming off of his two best performances in weeks 4 and 5, Luck has thrown 121 pass attempts during those consecutive games, which took place four days apart.

Luck can now say he’s thrown the most passes in NFL history during a five-day span, per Elias Sports.

Andrew Luck has attempted 121 passes over the last 2 games.

Those 121 pass attempts over the past two games are also the second-most ever in a two-game span. Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had 123 pass attempts in consecutive games during the 2015 season.

To begin the season, there were some questions about Luck airing it out. But anyone watching the past two games will agree wholeheartedly that there is nothing physically wrong with Luck’s arm.

The 28-year-old quarterback showed plenty of velocity and touch on several passes Thursday night against the Patriots while finishing with at least 365 yards and three touchdowns for the second straight week.

Over the past two games, Luck has completed 78 of 121 passes for 839 yards, seven touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Luck will get a few extra days off before suiting up against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 6.
